On traveling, and people you meet along the way:

Good company is hard to find, but easier when you know you’ll never see them again. When traveling, your fellow travelers are your best friends. The barista at the cafe with the beard who resembles Sayid from Lost, who serves you your cappuccino can be your replacement brother, and the guy you met at a party can turn into your "i'll-tell-you-all-about-my-day" friend for a month, or two, but no longer.

The appeal of everyone as a person increases when you know your time is running out. Or maybe it’s because everyone decides to be nicer because first impressions really matter when you only have so much time with someone. Some things are better left short and unadulterated; it is what it is and what it is was perfect.

changes

Dublin, the only country where it is possible to witness spring, summer, autumn and winter in one day.

"Wrap yourself in a thin coat and walk to your new job. Let your hands freeze and your lips burn. You like to let the cold wake you up and remind you of where you are now. You chase the train, you stare into space, you write a note, you rush to meet someone. And the more you move the closer you get to the version of yourself you’ve been chasing, you think."

vestida

Salvador Dalí's painting, Woman at the Window at Figueres, 1926 is too beautiful for words.

winter dinner

word

Hahaha a Norwegian boy kept pointing at his shirt all night. Temple Bar brings out the funny.

october

So, the Irish winter begins. It's a different kind of cold. It gets into your bones - then you curse when you walk. That's not very nice.

o'connell street

Stroll around O'Connell st. before college. Too cold to sit still.

handmade falafels with houmous, cucumber, raita, chili salsa and salad

The convenience of having college near burger joints. They think about the students.

friday productivity

1. The "thank-goodness-it's-friday-drinks"! 
2. Got a new jacket. I'm still getting used to being back in cold weather again - the other day before heading out, I walked out my door without a jacket. Made about 10 steps to realize it was Autumn. In Ireland. (storm, rain, hail, what have you)
3. Pretty sure a boy in my class with a nice jacket thinks I'm a ditz. He likes my jacket, yo.
4. Everyone has a fascination with my hair. 
5. Strange people in elevators.
6. People in my college are all so nice.

is it your birthday 'cause that marshmallow's on fire

Oh dear, look at that marshmallow.

The unbearable lightness of being

“In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine.”

“All I kept thinking about, over and over, was 'You can't live forever; you can't live forever.” 

― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

privé

Waitin' on Tim. Bright lights Privé for Mr. Yap's party. Lychee martini's are the bomb.

intramuros

Where Bourne Legacy was filmed. How awesome is that?!

domesticated pools, sunsets and paradise

If this is the life, then who'd argue

Getting lost is just another way of saying 'going exploring.'

This is how the entire course of a life can be changed: by doing nothing.

fire starter

My cousin and I watched a fire show!

midnight stroll via 7/11

My cousin is in the house, say what?

As high as a kite? wrong! As high as a parachute!
